Devils Circuit 2023

 This year I participated in Devils Circuit 2023 a  Rockstar of Running Events; it is Asia’s biggest Obstacle Race and the only running event in India to boast a community of over two million runners!

I resonated with their goal “We Help Each Other Become the Best Version of Ourselves.”




Challenges Call for Creativity, Challenges Make You Stronger, Challenges Keep You Humble, and Challenges Amplify Your Achievements!

I went for Non-Competitive Category, Same course, and same obstacles, but no timing chip. Finish the run and the obstacles at your own pace and gauge our own fitness level so that next time we can come back fitter, stronger, and ready to conquer it all!

Here, the five-kilometer track (quite overwhelming for first-timers) is embedded with 15 crazy, fun, and challenging obstacles of varying difficulty levels. Once on it, you push yourself to draw strength not just from your core or muscles, but from your gut. All puns are intended.

You reach an organic high by the time you’ve reached the fifth obstacle, and something within you—that you didn’t know existed—pushes you to conquer the Finish Line! You end the race feeling drunk with euphoria and bursting with adrenaline. The 15th obstacle always takes the cake, but you’ll have to be there to witness its impact.




It looks easy as this is the first hurdle but when you climb up you can feel the fear of height. I easily went from one side while going to another side I was really afraid. You can't go back and you have to take yourself to another side.

As the name says it is hell, going up is easy moving in between parts is very tough, and coming down is even tougher.


Summit was 14 feet and you can not complete it without other's help

This was the first time when I realized I can not climb a simple rope!
Completely muddy and difficult. I completed half and wanted to give up but I could not go back. I just kept on moving and I finished! 
This was the last obstacle. The ice was freezing at -2.5 degrees celsius. Tons of ice and when I jumped into my body froze for a few seconds. 

I tried to complete this twice and failed. Moved on to the next. I dared to dream!

Grab & go was really difficult. Failed thrice and moved to the next one!
It takes strong hands and an even stronger mind. Finished it on the first attempt!

I found my shoes were not fitting into the nest. Maybe I need to practice more to get out of jail. In my mind, I already broke the jail of evil! 
My stomach was aching for 5 days after I finished this! 
A strong will to finish made me complete this
If you learn to balance yourself you can balance everything around you!
Not all swings are easy and fun!
I needed just a Push to finish this!
